Add/Drop adds new changes
November 29, 2017
Fossil Ridge High School offers the opportunity each semester to add or drop classes, but within the last years add/drop has caused apparent problems. Such problems include students unable to get into their necessary classes, or even students arriving at the school well before the add/drop takes place.
On Thursday, November 29, Fossil counselor Matt Murphy sent an email to school staff informing them about the upcoming changes to be made to add/drop that are to be addressed in advisory. Add/drop forms will still require a parent signature, but the forms will only be available in the North Wing office. The new forms will be available December 4 before school, during lunch, after school, and during late start. Classes still have a cap on the amount of students that be on the roster, the same as it has been in the past. One of the largest changes is that there is a limit of forms per grade level, and a time for the corresponding grade to show up.
The add/drop changes can help prevent students showing up before sunrise, and help students who need changes to their schedule to fit their graduation requirements. This is a new system for add/drop that may change the biannual chaos into an event that could be more productive in helping students.

Are people with low morals who think they are better than everybody else still going to be able to cut me in line without consequences? If administration doesn’t control this problem, I will take it into my own hands. (;
